“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:6-7 KJV). Our difficulty is understanding and being satisfied with God Our Promoter. Others around us may go right pass us, with less qualification, ability, experience, or work ethic; but, rare is the disciple, who understands, when a promotion is not in their best interests. Instead of striving to get ahead of the next person, do what you’re good at. God makes us good at our jobs, since He “worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Accept a promotion or demotion, as needed; but, strive to be good at being useful to God and your neighbor. Now, make yourself useful! LORD, may we be pleased, if You are. And, make us good at doing our jobs well, as You do. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy our jobs. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
